With Weber lateralizing to the right and a Rinne test showing BC>AC in the right ear, what is the type of loss and its side?

In this scenario, the Weber test results indicate lateralization to the right ear, while the Rinne test shows bone conduction (BC) greater than air conduction (AC) in the right ear. This combination suggests that there is a conductive hearing loss on the right side.

The Weber test is used to determine whether hearing loss is conductive or sensorineural. Lateralization of the sound to the right ear typically indicates that either the right ear has a conductive loss or the left ear has a sensorineural loss. Since the Rinne test shows BC greater than AC in the right ear, this further confirms conductive hearing loss on that side. In a normally functioning ear, air conduction should be greater than bone conduction, so the reverse indicates that sound is not being transmitted effectively through the outer or middle ear structures.

Overall, these test results provide evidence of conductive hearing loss specifically in the right ear. Therefore, the correct interpretation of the findings is that there is conductive hearing loss on the right side.
